You sure you have 4.56s? I'm in 3rd gear by the time I'm through an intersection. I'm in 5th gear by 35mph.
With my 4.56s over the 4.10s I find myself stopping in the middle of the road often, spinning the tires over, then staging and launching from a stop just to see if I can hook up decent. You can recover from a bog a lot faster but you launch too high and you will haze your tires and it will feel like you aren't moving. I find my best launch has been 1500rpms clutch slip or a 2000rpms clutch dump. Oh God the feel you get in 1st and 2nd gear! The car just never stops pulling. WNTAMACH1 I'll get you a video this weekend of 1st through 3rd.
